OMG. Give ...it...a...break. Because you're black people assume you're a waiter at a buffet breakfast in a Hampton Inn? Really, this race crap needs to just die. No one buys that. You think people would look at you in flip flops, kids in tow, eating eggs and drinking coffee and think you're there to wait on them. That's ridiculous.

Clearly it's never happened to you. Your privilege is showing.

It hasn't happened to anybody. Your race card is sticking out of your pocket, btw.

Happens to AAs and darker Hispanics all the time. Google it. It also happens in big box stores and not because you are wearing a red top and khaki bottom.

I am white and witness this all of the time. Definition of color blind.

Kids under 5? Sure. Adults, no.
Even as a hungover 20-something I always dressed for breakfast at hotels.

Well, I'm white and I've never seen it. See how that works?

I'm white and it happened to me on a flight the other day, operated by Scandinavian Airlines. Coincidentally, the person who made the assumption I was a flight attendant was an Indian gentlemen, and he meant absolutely no harm. It's just that the SAS flight attendants were blonde, I'm blonde and was standing in the aisle (entertaining my toddler who was seated) and he asked me for a landing card. He then realized what happened and apologized.

The fact that it happens in the US to persons of color is different and (can be) offensive, because the assumption stems from a very real divides in socioeconomic status (and thus, job types). Assuming that someone of color is in the service industry is tone deaf at best, and straight up racist at worst.

Get your head out of the sand, PP, OR, at least keep quiet.

Please don’t wear PJs to a public area. It isn’t your house. It isn’t your breakfast room.

However, I often stop in the concierge room after a run to grab coffee - I think it is a little rude, but it doesn't stop me. I wouldn't sit and eat breakfast without showering and dressing.

What is a concierge room breakfast? I think we are talking about the crappy free breakfast that’s out at a place like the residence inn … I’ve never heard the term Concierge room and I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels.

Nicer hotels have separate eating/drinking spaces for quests with high status. There are usually snacks, drinks, coffee available all day and then a heavy breakfast and happy hour. Outside of US, wine and beer are included without charge.
